Use this setting to Enable or Disable Console Redirection for the COM2 port.

This submenu contains Console Redirection settings for the COM2 port.

This setting allows you to select the Terminal Type to use for Console Redirection emulation. Options include ANSI (extended ASCII character set), VT100 (ASCII character set), VT100+ (extends VT100 to support color, function keys, etc.) and VT-UTF8 (uses UTF8 encoding to map Unicode characters onto one or more bytes).

This setting selects the serial port transmission speed, which must be matched on the other side. Long or noisy lines may require lower speeds. Options include 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200.

This sets the number of data bits as either 7 or 8.

A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors. Options include None (no parity bit), Even (parity bit is 0 if the number of 1’s in the data bits is even), Odd (parity bit is 0 if the number of 1’s in the data bits is odd), Mark (parity bit is always 1) or Space (parity bit is always 0. The Mark and Space Parity do not allow for error detection.

Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet (a start bit indicates the beginning). The standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communications with slow devices may require more than 1 stop bit. Options are 1 or 2.

Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the receiving buffers are full, a ‘stop’ signal can be sent to stop the data flow. Once the buffers are empty, a ‘start’ signal can be sent to re-start the flow. Hardware flow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals. Options include None and Hardware RTS/CTS.

This setting Enables or Disables VT-UTF8 Combination Key support for ANSI/ VT100 terminals.

This setting Enables or Disables Recorder Mode. When enabled only text will be sent. This is to capture Terminal data.

This setting Enables or Disables extended terminal resolution.

This allows you to set for legacy OSes the number of rows and columns supported for redirection. Options include 80x24 or 80x25.

This setting allows you to select the funtion key and KeyPad to use on the Putty keyboard. Options include VT100, LINUX, XTERMR6, SCO, ESCN or VT400.
